ROOF // First Works in Tanger
I'm back in Tanger, Morocco,, this time in Ana's house.
I've been all week going up and down to the building roof
enjoying the amazing light and view, the walls are so beautiful
and inspiring!
I found some things on the floor in a closing market I've passed
I found some things on the floor in a closing market I've passed
by some days ago. I used a oxidate metalic sheet I had found in
a waste ground as a base for this work, the result its a collage of
a waste ground as a base for this work, the result its a collage of
diferents materials and textures and the incredible shadow
casted on the wall.

TANGER morocco // street art
While I was in Tanger participating in a And'Art
festival I have meet Antonio, a wall painter from
spain, Marzia, a filmaker from Italy and Ana a
spanish photographer who lives in tanger.
Close to Ana's house, behind the medina, its an
area between house buildings with some nice trees
and shacks. Most of the children play there.. it's like
a secret place.
I colaborate with them making this place nicer for
the comunity.
Looking on the floor I found objects and waste
material and with those I create an sculpture at
one of the walls. The piece it's a kind of fountain
that can be activate with a floor pulsing pedal.
I used a big orange plastic botlle, part of a blue
broom, blue threads and the top of an orange
electrical appliance.
AND'ART tanger // exhibition
And'art, that means visions in Arabic it's a new itinerant
art-music festival in Morocco. In this first edition the
festival has been happening in the city of Tanger. We
were a total of 20 participants counting musicians,
filmmakers, photografers, painters and sculptors. Was so
good to be together with people from differents nationalities,
including of courses moroccans artists. In my group we were
4 people, for some days we moved around the city and
discussed and talked about our impression and feelings.
Next we started working in a project together and
aswell in a individual piece.
The two pictures above are from the market called
"Casabarata", It was amazing for me to discovered,
I love this place, you can find everything, full of energy.
I spoke to some people from there and they told me
more about the place. Three months ago, in the night
some diggers came and pulled down parts of the market,
nobody could tell me why they did it. The first picture
shows how is the situation now. The consequence is that
some people are looking in the ruins trying to find metal
or things which they can sell.
This is how I started recollecting and looking for materials
and objects for my individual piece.

AND'ART tanger // outside work
We made a project at the outside Haddad theater
with the three artist I was collaborating with: Rocca,
Mia and Stephanie. We decided to do an sculptur-action
in the street because we found fundamental to interact
with the residents.
From Casabarata market we found objects that we
transformed to a presents for the children. We
used a lot of colour ropes to hang them out.
PATCHWORLD
That's the flyer I made for my last exhibition
called Patchworld. It's a big instalation made
with Textil waste materials. Amazing samples
from the 70ths and 80ths.
The openning was on the 2nd october in the
Oficial Language School in Granollers, a city
next to Barcelona, and will be on untill middle
of december. Big Love.
PATCHWORLD exhibition
for 2 weeks and a half in EOI (escola oficial de Idiomes),
and it was fantastic. I was going everyday in the morning
and leaving in the night, doing my art in the corridors,
meeting the students, talking to them and beeing inspired
from the way they behave.
All the materials I used for the installation were from and
old textil factory that had to close down. I arrived to the
school one morning with all the stuff, having only some ideas
in my head. That's the reason I really enjoyed doing this
work-in-progress.
cardboard textil samples, they are very old,
and most of the patterneted very funny,
have a look.
One of the bench covered with samples and
finished with tape.
...doing lines with the cardboard samples at the
corridors walls, clossing somehow the toilets and
the classroom doors, some of the students didn't
know what to do.... just first day.
samples, they were used for the sweaters sellers,
they could show to the clients the material.
In the last room of the installation I inspired myself
with a kind of Haima, I wanted to give to the students
the oportunity to relax and enjoy the class breaks,
making them to feel good and positive, with a special
energy, created because of the falling threads, the
fabric samples and the fluorescent red-pink light.
My intention after this good-positive feeling it's to
make them thinking about this new place, that is
completly diferent that what they could expect.
ROAD traffic post
Sometimes looking deep to the city streets and roads
I feel that everything it's standard and the same.
In me grow up the feeling to put some fun where hardly
exist.
The idea of making a road post came because I found
in my grandsfather's atelier an old iron tube and some
waste material like a plastic protector from a fruit boxes,
wire, tape, drawing pins, elastic band, metal shaving and
lentejuelas.
